When in the history of the world has a country ever assembled an army of 200,000,000? Except now. Do you know which one? It is China.

...manpower fit for military service between age 16 and 49...

Round here we call that moving the goalposts. The answer to your question "When in the history of the world has a country ever assembled an army of 200,000,000?" is "never". No country has ever assembled such an army.

In a war, Agatha, do you expect that the regular force be there only? Would able-bodied men and women not enlist?

What I have read in the Guinness Book of World Record for this previous decade, China is number one in military power. From Wikipedia on China’s People’s Liberation Army, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People's_Liberation_Army ) in the 2010 estimate, its manpower fit for military service between age 16 and 49 are: male, 318,265,016; female, 300,323,611. That is already about 600,000,000 people.

8 letters, 3 words, 1 meaning.

That is simply a count of every able bodied person in a country between 16 and 49 - it is not the size, or even the potential size, of the country's army. Even in the unlikely event of China going to war, the business of running a country (all the shops, industry, teaching, looking after children, transport etc) still has to function.

So when you claimed that China had an army of 200 million people, you were wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, but two orders of magnitude wrong. Trying to wriggle out of this by claiming that an additional 197 million people would join the army in the event of war is just ridiculous - quite apart from anything else it would bankrupt a country to have a fighting force a hundred times higher than the current numbers. China's military spending, which by the way is second to the US, would have to rise from 2% of its GDP, to something akin to 200% of its GDP.

Reading is good, but you need to understand what you are reading and be able to put it in context. What you have done with the numbers you've pulled from Wiki is to take them out of context, and extrapolated an erroneous conclusion from them.

I can answer this question, it's all about a spirit which enters and exits a medium's brain by way of the fontanelle. Once a person is disposed to believe in magic, there is nothing that is too ridiculous for them to believe.

According to the Holy Spirit on 2012-05-03 (there wee at least six of us present), the 2012 Olympic Games will not be pushed through. It will be cancelled. I guess it will be because of World War III just like in the 1944 Olympic Games when it was scheduled in London also but was cancelled because of World War II.

Utter bollocks.

You guess? If that's the best you can do. I'll take my predictions from the urine stream of my eldest male cat.

On a totally related topic, I think I deserve extra credit for putting the word "syzygy" in a poem and getting to rhyme with "orange".

With such mad skillz my predictive powers are far better than yours. They bring all the boys to the yard too, so I don't know what's going on there....

I'd like to see god do that. The syzygy bit, not the boys thing.

The 1944 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in London was cancelled because of World War ii. This time, the 2012 Olympic Games scheduled to be held in London also from 07-27 to 08-12 will be NOT be pushed through and will be cancelled because of World War III.
 
Johnny 5 alive -- no disassemble!

And just the idea that China would threaten their entire national economic relationship with the US (we owe them trillions, and we buy trillions of junk from them) over a nothing-profitable Phillipines is patently ridiculous.

20120614.2140

Did you know, Baloney, that the Holy Spirit revealed that the Philippines is the richest nation on earth? Not what you think as a “nothing-profitable” country. That may be the reason why countries will be fighting over it.

Did you know also that the Chinese will destroy Metro Manila? Quite sad but this is what the Holy Spirit revealed to us. That is why He said that even though our boat is capsized, hold on to it, meaning even though the Philippines is conquered and occupied by the Chinese, we have to keep our faith in the true God.

Maybe it is in God’s plan to let the Chinese conquer lands like the Philippines so that they get out of China. In China, they are indoctrinated that there is no God. Maybe when they come in contact with Chinese Christians in the Philippines and elsewhere who will tell them that there is God, when they go back to China, they may say that there really is a god.
 
9 1/2 Weeks (or possibly platform 9 1/2, I'm not sure which 9 1/2 my spirit guide means)

Can I ask what "pushed through" means, please, peace crusader? You keep referring to the games as being pushed through, which seems odd, even if English isn't your first language.

Surely the word is "staged" or "organised" or "held" - given that the UK has been planning and preparing for these games since at least 2005 when they won the bid - and before that in working on the bid itself.

The phrase "pushed through" suggests something last minute and rushed, and I'm not sure why?


(and I'm not even sure why that's the bit that's bothering me ;))

How do you know it will be called "World War III"? What if the media decides to call it something else? Will that invalidate your claim?
 
You are number 6.

Has the OP departed?

Does OP mean Original Poster? If so, then, Captain Swoop, I have departed to take my rest. And after I woke up, I still did things around the house and work. In the evening, I go to the Internet to answer your questions.

130,000,000

That's the number of estimated Christians in China. That's about 35,000,000 more than the entire population of the Philippines!

Instead of inventing number systems why don't you try to get some numbers right? You have a strange view of the world and China. With the foothold that your chosen deity has made in China, why would he come to some obscure group of bible-thumpers and communicate in Tagalog. Why wouldn't he be in Wuhai, speaking Mandarin?
 
Sweet 16

Yes. So, if WW3 doesn't start before the London Olympics, will you admit that your god is a false one?


20120614.2200

If World War III does not start before the 2012 Olympic Games in London, then I will say that He is a false god.

How about you, timhau? Will you believe Him if the 2012 Olympic Games does not start as planned?

He said on 2012-05-01 that it will be a Wednesday. It narrowed down my choices to 06-27, 07-04, 07-11, and 07-18 from between 06-21 and 07-21 inclusive. I chose 07-04. But I don’t know Wednesday in which place. Is it in China, in the Philippines, in the US? Just be prepared on any of these Wednesdays, especially on 07-04 in the US. And tape it. Why in the US?

Even if the eebil Chinese invaded the Philipines tomorrow and even if the rest of the world was inclined join in it would take far longer than a month for the thing to escalate to the level of being worthy of the title 'World War'.

Why do you think your planned predicted prophesied made-up-out-of-whole-cloth invasion thingy will necessarily stop the Olympics from going ahead?

The comparison with London in 1944 is spurious.
 
Super Bowl IV: Chiefs 23, Vikings 7

So, WWIII will start on a Wednesday. You sure about that? Seems more like a "Monday" kind of thing to me. Everyone is always grumpy on Monday. By Wednesday, everyone is workin' for the weekend, so no one is liable to do nasty things like start wars, repossess wayward spirits, knock on doors and hand out tracts.

You're preaching to an empty room, PeaceCrusader. Most of us here have no belief in God, spirits, Satan or any other imaginary entity.


20120614.2225

Are you, Agatha, not fortunate that I am talking to you and informing you of what is to happen very, very soon? Jesus said in Matthew 7:6, “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Very soon, I will depart to inform believers. Who knows? You may be among the two-thirds who will perish. The Holy Spirit said that some will not even know what hit them. I believe they will die suddenly and vaporize.

Considering it's Platform 93/4, I think your spirit guide was referring to the former. ;)

7-11

What's so fortunate about it, if nobody can do anything about it?

Who knows? You may be among the two-thirds who will perish. The Holy Spirit said that some will not even know what hit them. I believe they will die suddenly and vaporize.

That doesn't sound so bad. What do you think we have now gained by knowing this in advance?
